Missing Malaysia Airlines plane: Did MH 370 crash as hijackers planned a 9/11-type attack on India? There could been a 9/11 type attack on an Indian city with Flight MH 370, the Malaysian Airlines plane missing since March 8, former US deputy secretary of state Strobe Talbott claimed on Twitter on Saturday. This is Talbotts tweet: Malaysian plane mystery: Direction, fuel load & range now lead some to suspect hijackers planned a 9/11-type attack on an Indian city. He also said the plane may have crashed like the hijacked Flight UA 93 in 2001. Clarifying on his earlier tweet, Talbot said on Sunday that there is a speculation that the plane might have crashed on its way to India, like it happened with United Airlines (UA) Flight 93. Replying to a tweet, Talbott said: Malaysian#370 as hijack: 1 of many theories. Speculation: hijackers headed toward India but crashed like UA#93 on 9/11. Flight 93 was hijacked on September 11, 2001, to be used for a terror strike but its passengers had tried to overpower the terrorists and the plane had crashed in Pennsylvania, killing all 44 on board. The well-known foreign policy analyst however did not say who were suspecting the possibility of such an attack. Talbott is the chairman of Brookings Institution, a think-tank in Washington. The startling claim came after the Malaysian government said MH 370 was deliberately diverted from its path and flew on for nearly seven hours before it vanished. There is a growing belief that the plane may have crashed into the Indian Ocean. On September 11, 2001, hijackers had crashed two planes into the twin towers of World Trade Center in New York, killing thousands. However, there has so far been no such similar attack anywhere.
